I would have thought that just jet washing it off would be the best and cheapest solution.
In our country though its gonna probably keep coming back, maybe a case of keeping on top of it by jet washing every year.I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I do not know the answer. -
ya said that to him but he is unwilling to do that he has a few pot plants under his window the pot plants have sunk he thinks if he uses a power washer it will break the tarmac alltogrther the tarmac is a little over 4inchs deepComment

If gypo's have done the tarmacing its probably painted on.I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I do not know the answer.Comment

Ferrous Sulphate which can be obtained form hardware shops in powder form and is watered on.
Once it goes black scrape it off with a hoe or stiff brush.
Moss has two growing cycles spring/autumn when the spores spread so best time to do it is April/September.
Places like B&Q sell it as Lawn Sand but it gets messy and ends up tramped all over the house.
Hope this is of some use.Comment
